Don’t step on the clutch with just your toes or the ball of your foot. Push down with the entire length of your foot. It’s easier to control it that way because you’ll be lifting/depressing the pedal with your knee movement instead of ankle.

Also, don’t ride the clutch, even if you think you’re just resting your foot over it lightly. That still puts pressure on the pedal. Rest your foot on the dead pedal when not shifting.

Don’t rest your hand on the shifter (applies to automatics too).

Use engine braking to your advantage.

I avoid the sun and just take a vitamin D supplement.

ELI5 why there’s not enough information?

The smallest screen I was willing to watch a movie or series on was my old 10" Lenovo netbook. I absolutely will not watch a movie on a phone screen. Right now I’m pretty happy with my 65" 4k TV. I’ll probably upgrade to a 75" (or 80"?) when I have extra funds because we do love watching movies and shows. As for movie theaters, post-pandemic I only go if it’s a movie worth seeing in IMAX or Dolby. I’m fortunate that there is a true IMAX theater in my city. If not, I wait for it to be available to watch at home.

Another person already said it, but the issue is the lack of third spaces. You don’t need to physically go to an office to get a sense of community. Working remotely makes it easier to get a sense of community if there are third spaces because you’re not stuck in a building for 8 hours. If your only source of community is your workplace, then you have other problems.

Septum rings. They just remind me of cows.

Yes, and the trigger on the kick making all the hits uniform helps make it sound clean. I’m not knocking on his skills, the dude does have the talent to back it up.

Yes, like I said, his skill and technique are very good. The triggers and compression just make it sound super clean.

“Did you know you can be tracked if you go to a protest? That’s why I use Nord VPN, to keep me safe from viruses that can steal my personal infomation…”

He’s skilled for sure, but he does use drum triggers that’s why his playing sounds so crisp and clean. If you watch his live playing filmed by amateur cameras and outside his studio, he sounds more “normal”. Not saying it’s bad though, the dude is still very talented.

Same. I earn decent money but can probably get way more elsewhere, yet I’m sticking around because I’m in a pretty good spot with my work-life balance and my manager is great. I hope he sticks around as long as I’m employed there.

Getting to that depth with a submersible is one thing, but being able to enter, navigate inside, grab stuff, and bring them out is another.

+1. Not tight and stuffy while providing enough containment.

People liked Batfleck because he was the closest to comic Batman looks-wise. Tall, physically imposing, square jaw, rugged, etc. He was also the best part of the Snyder movies and that’s a low bar. His version was also an older, disillusioned Bruce/Batman which is why he was more prick-ish.

Hard to pick just one so I’ll list a few:

• Thank You Scientist - 2x
• Haken - 3x
• Porcupine Tree - 1x
• King Crimson - BEAT lineup 2x, 3 drummer lineup 1x
• Tesseract - 1x
• Meshuggah - 1x

I would like to know more.

Scroll down to the bottom of both instances’ home pages using the default lemmy UI. You’ll see the version of lemmy they use. You’ll also see a link labeled as Legal, which contains most of the instance’s policies. The Instances link will show you what instances they are federated and defederated with. The modlog can also give you some insight on what’s happening on the instance. Combine that with all the other information on their sidebars and you’ll get a rough idea of how different they are managed.

It also helps if you’ve been on lemmy for a while because you would’ve directly experienced or witnessed any issues or controversies those instances have been involved with.

For .ee users still deciding on an instance to jump to, I chose .zip because it’s managed similarly:

• Similar defederation policy
• Runs the latest version of lemmy
• Defederated from Threads

Others moved to piefed.social.

Talk about over exaggeration lol. Lemm.ee was fine and well run, I enjoyed it more than being on .world. They just didn’t have enough people willing to be admins.

Care to expound on that? I picked .zip to migrate to from .ee
